TV WALL
SHELF
So you want to have a TV wall shelf
now to have a better view.
One benefit is that you free up some space
on the floor. Secondly a tv hung on the wall gives a better
view in my personal experience though everyone has their own
preference. Also, you can decorate the tv wall shelf and have a
really nice looking wall. A TV wall shelf is really easy to
build and put on the wall. If you are more of a do it yourself
kind, you can easily build it at your own. I will list the
steps down further. You can also hire
someone to build the same for you.
Get yourself a shelf board. You will need to paint it in your
favourite colour and keep it away for drying. Now you need to
decide where you are going to locate the shelf on the wall.
Stick a bracket to the wall and mark the first set of holes.
Now you need to take measure horizontally of a length equal to
size of your TV. Mark this length for a second set of holes.
Also, ensure that both set of holes are on the same
level.
The anchors which you have bought will have information on the
size of the drill bit which is needed to drill the holes in the
wall and install the anchors. After you have the needed drill
bit, make holes at the previously identified spots. You need to
ensure that the depth of the holes will accommodate the
anchors. The anchors should fit tightly in the holes for
strength. Now put an e an anchor in each hole and tap lightly
with a hammer to ensure sure that it is horizontal. After the
anchors are fixed, you need to place the upper portion of the L
bracket over the holes with
anchors.
Now place an anchor bolt and tighten it using you drill or any
other instrument. Ensure to do this both the brackets. Now,
take the precut painted and dried board and place it on the
lower part of L bracket. You need to leave 1 to 2 inch
overhanging the brackets on each of the sides. Now, from
underneath the board, you will need to
insert the wooden screws through the holes
on the bracket into the board with your drill and voila your TV
wall shelf is ready.
Apart from making your own TV wall
shelf as instructed above, you can also buy a readymade TV wall
shelf from your local wood working store or you can get one
customised for yourself. A TV wall shelf saves a lot of space
and is ideal for viewing and now when you have enjoy watching
your TV on you newly made TV wall shelf.
